I have been interested in royalty and history my whole life, particularly in the descendants of Queen Victoria. I believe the most fascinating personage in royal history for me is Queen Victoria's granddaughter, Grand Duchess Elisabeth Feodorovna. Her niece, Princess Alice of Greece, is also of particular interest to me. They were both fascinating women with similar pursuits and different outcomes.

I worked as a newspaper reporter for year, so writing is a passion. I love reading a good book (Anyone ever read "To Kill A Mockingbird?" - my favorite). I also love animals (more than people). I have a husband, a dog and four cats - all who are loads of fun and trouble!
